Specifications
| Book Description | Batman: The Man Who Laughs is a one-shot graphic novel by Ed Brubaker and Doug Mahnke, released in February 2005, and intended as a sequel to Batman: Year One. It tells the story of Batman's first encounter with The Joker in post-Crisis continuity. The book is similar in format and cover typography to the famous 1988 one-shot Batman: The Killing Joke. Interestingly, despite being aimed as a sequel to Year One, it has at least one notable continuity error, contradicting Year One continuity- in that at the end of Miller's novel, Gordon talks to Batman about a psychopath (the Joker) threatening to poison the Gotham reservoir. However, in The Man Who Laughs, Batman works out that Joker intends to poison the reservoir at the end of the book, perhaps retconning the famous and epic end scene of Year One. The title is a reference to the movie The Man Who Laughs, based on the book of the same name by Victor Hugo, which was an inspiration for The Joker. |
